|
Well it's high time you realize
|
that I must live my life as it surrounds me
|
I can give you all the room you need to be yourself as I am
|
in the same key
|
We can live our lives together, yes, and still remain
|
ourselves if we believe
|
And I believe, oh, oh darlin'.
|
|
Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
|
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
|
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.
|
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.
|
Gotta keep open.
|
|
I've given you my heart, I give my soul
|
I give you everything I have
|
Yes, and just as there's a special part of you
|
that's yours alone
|
To keep, I'm glad there is so much we can do together
|
And I believe, oh, oh darlin'.
|
|
Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
|
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
|
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.
|
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.
|
Gotta keep open.
|
|
I was looking for love, I was losing my mind.
|
I was searching for someone to care.
|
I was fighting my feelings to turn and to run.
|
And I looked in your heart.
|
And I saw there was somebody there.
|
|
So I'm sitting on the river in your city
|
and I'm writing out these words
|
And I hope that you will listen to my song
|
`cos it is mine and now it's yours
|
I'm the master of my fate and the captain of my soul
|
and I believe
|
yes, I believe, oh, oh darlin'.
|
|
Got to keep and open heart, got to keep an open mind.
|
Got to keep workin' hard or you get left behind
|
Got to keep lovin', got to keep givin'.
|
Got to let nothin' get in the way of livin'.
|
Gotta keep open.
